Original Post:

Three ghost hunters were conducting an investigation at a cemetery in Richland, Missouri, when they captured something quite unique and 'ghostly', though not the Bob Marley type.

It's also rare that ghost hunters report to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), though it has happened before.

Here is that report (as is), in it's entirety. To see the original report and photos, click on the links provided.


MUFON case 23649
06-05-2010 at 22:39
Richland, Missouri

On the evening of Saturday June 5th our paranormal group decided to do a investigation in a cemetery near Richland Missouri in Pulaski County. It was just the group leader, his wife, and myself that night. We were having the usual investigation and were at first glance getting a lot of orbs, with a couple of really cool face pictures. While at the cemetery I saw a shooting star shoot straight down. The night was clear with some clouds in the distance producing heat lightning. My friend was using a camera that had an infra red attachment. He has a better camera then I do that is 10megapixel. We spent about 45 minutes at this place then moved on to the next cemtery down a series of dirt roads. While there all three of us noticed a constant humming noise at this cemetery. It was not the interstate as when you live by a road there are occasional breaks in the noise. We finished up the investigation at the second investigation and headed back to the group leader's house. We uploaded our pictures to our respective computers and procedded to go through the evidence right then and there. About approximately ten minutes into the review of evidence. I hear "What the hell is that?!?" coming from the group leader. I got up and, his wife got up from the computer desk and headed over to his desk and looked at an unusual object hanging in the sky among the trees. This was unlike anything I had ever seen before. We realized that this photo was taken in the first cemetery. The picture that was taken in the same spot and in the general same direction before had no such object in it. It was invisible to us. While we were in that spot we had to be no more then 25 feet from the object and the group leader speculates that the object was hovering about in the tree tops. Observing us. Also noticed in other photographs are humanoid looking faces with two black stripes painted upon their cheeks. It is also worth noting that the group leader and his wife did a previsit to the graveyard about two weeks ago. When we arrived he commented that their looked to be several dirt patches that were not there previously. Were the aliens investigating us investigating the cemetary? Did they follow us to the other cemetary and was that the contant humming we heard? We may never know the true answer.

Note: I have cropped the original photo and enhanced the object.
If you look closely, it appears to be behind some trees in the foreground, yet partially "in" the background trees.
The object also appears to be semi-transparent.  Perhaps a double exposure, or stranger still, something trans-dimensional?
It looks vaguely like a "cement bucket" but I'd appreciate feedback on this.  Please email me if you have any idea as to what this object could be.

UFO Hotspots

Best places to spot UFOs
Go beyond Area 51: UFO-spotting hotbeds around the globe

By Adrien Glover

msnbc.com- It was just another winter night in Stephenville, Texas, when Steve Allen, a 30-year aviation veteran, saw something that defied all logic—an eerily silent, mile-wide craft ringed in lights that would “rearrange themselves” racing across the sky at what he estimated to be 3,000 miles per hour.

“I don’t know if it was a biblical experience or somebody from a different universe, but it was definitely not from around these parts,” Allen told a reporter from the Empire-Tribune after the sighting on Jan. 8, 2008. Similar reports poured in from across Erath County.

The Stephenville Lights incident wasn’t a onetime event—another mass sighting followed in October 2008, and individual reports from the area still trickle in. This corner of Texas along with the eastern Nevada desert are fast emerging as the U.S.’s newest UFO “hot spots”—places with the best odds of a spotting. Similarly active places exist around the globe, with some even attracting a new kind of tourist.

These days, it seems people can’t get enough of the UFO phenomena. Television shows such as the History Channel’s UFO Hunters and alternative radio programs like Coast to Coast AM—where an estimated three million listeners tune in each night to hear from hardworking UFO investigators, among other thought-provoking interviewees—are more popular than ever.

Believing the time is right, even the famed SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute is conducting its first-ever public conference this year devoted to the age-old question: are we alone? SETIcon, slated for Aug. 13–15, in Santa Clara, Calif., will also unveil the institute’s newest scientific advances in its ongoing search for intelligent life from other planets.

“Using radio telescopes, we hope to trip across a planet with inhabitants clever enough to build radio transmitters,” says senior SETI astronomer Seth Shostak. “If we do so, then the proof won’t be limited to fuzzy photos, secret government documents, or personal anecdotes. It will be up in the sky—where anyone can check it out.”

But what if you can’t wait for SETI’s antenna array to detect a signal from another planet and want to seek out your own proof? We’ve identified active places across the globe where UFOs like to show themselves.

Mexico City, for example, has been a near-constant sky-watch since the solar eclipse of 1991, when a UFO was captured on video among the cloud shadows. Since then, whole fleets—literally hundreds of unexplained lights—have appeared over the world’s largest city. Or take Warminster, England, near Stonehenge, where for the past 50 years nighttime overhead visitations and mysterious booming noises have been considered ho-hum normal.

And with earthling tourists on the verge of travel into the Milky Way, thanks to Sir Richard Branson’s soon-to-be-introduced Virgin Galactic vehicle, perhaps UFO hunters will soon be able to explore the ultimate hot spot of all—space.

Was it a man-like ape, or just a porcupine caught napping in a tree?

Cryptid talk is followed by December, 2009 UFO reports from Texas, while the UFO Disclosure clock is stuck at 10PM. The first decade of the new millenia saw no disclosure for the U.S..

How will things turn out for 2010? The Amazing Kreskin makes predictions for 2010. Look out kids, you may have to beat those silver spoons into plowshares and pay your own way.

UFOs Video At Madeira Beach, Florida

MUFON Case # 20725

November 21, 2009
Madeira Beach, Florida

MUFON- Saturday, November 21st, 2009 will be a day that I will never forget. I was on Madeira Beach with some friends and family after a funeral we had for my father earlier that day.

We were on the beach setting off some fireworks when I looked to the south side of the beach and noticed two very bright blue orbs twirling in the sky. I immediately ran for my camera and shouting "UFO's! UFO's!"

It took me about 10 minutes to find where I had packed my camera. Just as soon as I got back to the beach ready to film, the orbs descended to the water. I thought that I had missed my chance, only to find out a few minutes later that they were coming back.

I captured almost 30 minutes of these UFO's flying near Madeira Beach. The maneuverability and speed of these things was unlike anything I've ever seen, or heard of. Their shape was like that of a Ouija board planchette, sort of like a stretched-out heart.

I noticed a couple of times while they were turning, they seemed flat, whereas sometimes they seemed like an orb. They would pulsate every once in a while from a light, bright blue, to a bright red, and sometimes a teal/green. It seemed like they would change color when they would do a sharp turn, sort of like a sailfish when its hunting prey.

I noticed that every once in a while, one would move and do a loop and a couple of sharp turns and come to a complete stop and just as soon as one would stop, the other did the exact same thing. Once they mimicked each other, they would line up and move in a half-circle in sync with one another.

I broke the filming up into 9 parts just to make sure I had at least something on film if one of the files were to become corrupted. The next day, I went onto Google Maps to try and pinpoint the area in which we saw them flying around.

My guess is that they were 3-5 miles south of where we were at. The UFO's were definitely going down to the water, as you can see in the video(Unfortunately, I never got them actually becoming submerged).

If you get a chance and would like to look at the map yourself, look right along the coast near Treasure Island, FL. If you look at the map in satellite mode, you'll notice there's an area right off of the coast that Google doesn't show you. It might not be anything, but it's kind of peculiar.

I checked all of the Bay area papers the next couple of days and there was no mention of anything like what we had seen that night.

This was just a small explanation of what I had seen that night, if anybody has any questions, I'd be happy to help, or if anybody has any answers, I'd be glad to hear them. I have all 9 parts on Youtube.com... look up *Must See* UFO's near Madeira Beach, FL

Diamond Shaped UFO Caught On Tape In The Netherlands

Watch Video on Youtube


A UFO sighting from Delfauw, Netherlands, along with accompanying footage, has been making headlines in that country.

At approximately 11:30 p.m. Steve Van Der Velde's girlfriend pointed to a strange point of light in the sky. He could not believe his eyes. The 32-year-old took out his camera and started filming the UFO.

The footage was captured last October, from Steve’s living room in the Dutch town of Delfgauw.

As reported by Steve to the Dutch newspaper, ‘Algemeen Dagblad’- "It was a red object moving with great speed in the vicinity of our apartment. It just floated for some time in the air."

"The UFO was diamond shaped, not disc shaped." continued Steve, "I really doubt it was a Chinese lantern or a weather balloon."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =





Editor's Note: I've analyzed the footage and the video appears to be genuine. I also captured a fairly clean frame of the object in question, enhanced it and then studied the image.

I have to agree with Steve's assessment, that the object is not a lantern, nor is it a balloon.

I personally don't but yesterday night around 10:30 p.m I was startled by a door being slammed,my door being shaken.

I grabbed my camera and took pictures of a man near my curb. I am frighten for my life. I have called my son and he is coming to pick me up tomorrow. i did not call the police because I am afraid of something happening to me.
